Street art has become so prevalent in today's society that it may seem almost impossible to think up original, clever and eye-catching work; yet the OaKoAk graffiti artist manages to do this and more. Although he may be no Banksy with an eye for political and social agendas, he manages to interact with his surroundings to create intriguing street art that strikes a cord with both kids and adults alike.
Based in France, the OaKoAk graffiti artist really pays attention to everything around him for inspiration. A crack becomes Spiderman's web or sand dunes that camels travel across, while an industrial doorway hides a potentially dark and sinister monster. His imagination seems as boundless as a child's, which is what entices the viewer.
